The damsel in distress is a principal archetype in most gothic literature, including The Castle of Otranto. The two damsels in distress

Buffy and Angel The relationship between Buffy and Angel is ecstatic. The relationship itself has power, lust, and is fully intriguing. The relationship between Buffy and Angel was doomed from the start because, Buffy is a vampire slayer and Angel is a vampire.
